Okay Hss.

Nothing more can really be said, I'd just be repeating myself. It's rather clear to me, and I'm sure clear to the majority, that you are speaking very much from a outside looking in perspective - and that is hardly ever accurate.


thats because you pretend that its some kind of quantum physics shit

It isn't quantum physics, but at the same time there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes. Enforcing the rules of a large community of people and trying to come to a consensus with 30 different points of view on many different issues on how we act is very hard. Topics can get up to 15 pages of debating ideas and points brought up.

We have to take into account legality, member safety, etc and we do this all with a relative lack of direction from administration.

It isn't mindless blind enforcement of black and white rules, and it requires know how.

Why don't you make an effort to try to become a mod if the way it's run is so horrible?

I don't know, I think I am 70/40 on this issue. I always give it my 110%.

er, in most topics, thats not a big deal, there are a few more difficult ones, but most of it is fucking easy

and of course it requires common sense that a lot of idiots dont use, and i pretty much know already what goes on behind the scenes

I didn't read all of this.

But hss...

1- I can definitely say that Jesse isn't biased against you at all. You probably have more of an issue with what he considers spam. To be honest, he and I have just disagreed about that recently, which shows that there are many opinions on that issue. It's not personal.

Jesse is one of the most lenient moderators on the entire team. You would definitely rather have him moderating your stuff than anyone else. Idk if you're just trolling about him for a laugh, but you definitely don't see everything if you think he's against you.

2-insertnamehere. His stuff was never ignored at all. I don't know if you know it, but he was reprimanded and many mods spoke out against the way he treated you. That situation was never ignored, either you weren't aware of the action which was taken or you wanted more action. But I remember that he was threatened with a demotion and mods were pissed about his behavior.

3-katyduck is one of the best SLs to ever use LW. She's offered incredibly high quality advice to many users. The fact that she expects high quality advice from SLs shows her dedication to keeping the support system as good as possible.

well i dont think hes consciously 'biased' but due to past stuff he has a tendency to delete my shit pretty fast

i wanted more drastic action, some shit happened and he was threatened with demotion if he did it again, then he did it again and completely got away with it

this is extremely offset by her nasty, rotten disposition and tendency to hold meaningless grudges over a long period of time. shes a fucking two face, 'supportive' and nice on the one hand, but a nasty, nasty bitch on the other
